Chapter 2: Appearance Of The Dragonborn Sorcerer pt—2
"Will you give me your name before we start fighting each other." The Demon General, clad in a pitch-black armour with gleaming gears, struck the ground with his mighty long sword, "After your defeat, I'll honour your name by remembering it, as long as I live…"
"Sorry, that's not going to happen. It's not worth giving my name to a lowly insect such as yourself." The person jumped to the ground, held the staff and rose it high, "And you're about to be reduced in dust. So, why bother?"
"How arrogant!" the general mocked, "To refer me, Damrill, one of the Ten Demon Generals, as an insect, is nothing but insolence."
The demon king, ruler of the Shadow World was as powerful as the Goddess of Creation. And his loyal subordinates, known as the Ten Demon generals, were formidable warriors. Their strength was no joke.
Like humans they also could use mana. They had stages too. However ranking system of a demon was slightly different than humans. Damrill, the general who ambushed the Nation of Zelpher was a Stage-7 demon. Thus he believed he could easily take down a Stage-10 mage effortlessly.
That being said, he considered a sorcerer as the Stage-10 mage. Though his assumptions lead him to underestimate the person standing against him.
The mysterious person in the mask remained silent. He took a glance of the overwhelming demon army up against him. Everything was under his calculation though.
He struck the ground with his staff. A tremendous black magic circle appeared above the head of the demons— covering all the area as far as the demons were scattered.
Another golden circle appeared just above the black one. Bothe the humans and demons were awestruck. Such a massive magic, after all, was unprecedented.
"Demon Soul Harvest." As his heavy voice bloomed, his crown shined brightly. Almost, two-third of the demons lost their souls in an instant. The black circle plundered all the souls as it sparkled while the golden one purified them.
[Notice: 68454 Demon souls have been harvested by the skill 'Demon Soul Harvest' under the effect of the 'Crown of Demon God'. Do you want to convert the harvested soul into MP?]
[
'Yes' he commanded the prompt screen before him. His body glowed as the MP in the screen drastically increased from 46800/46800 to 46800/46800 (+6845400). The number exceeded his max MP and was too huge to even fit in the screen.
[Notice: Additional MP has been reserved]
The masked figure chuckled as the demon army collapsed. In an instant he wiped a massive number of foe without breaking a sweat.
"Who is that guy? He's incredibly strong."
"What an amazing spell. He's already killed that many!"
"He has to be the one sent by our Goddess."
The sweet words continued but didn't distract him. Instead, he was enjoying the expression on Damrill's face.
"This is something a low-life weakling can do, Damrill." He pointed his staff on Damrill, "Now it's your and the rest of the demons' turn to join them as well."
"Wait…." Damrill was saying something but got ignored. He didn't give him any opportunity to speak. He rose his staff again. Though this time, it was little different— rather frightful.
The magic circle appeared once more covering the entire area. A blue circle appeared above, another beneath, and countless crimson circle surrounded them followed by magical shackles that linked all the circles.
It ultimately created a magic cage and entrapped all the remaining demons.
However, that didn't stop there. About twenty more dark magic circle appeared right behind his own back as he floated in the air in a godlike manner. The dark energy emitting from those circle was overwhelming as it empowered the cage-like circles.
It was intense. To think someone could exhibit that kind of phenomena was none by a god in himself— or so the remaining human thought. It was hard for them to believe. They were in awe.
[Notice: Active Skill 'Dark Amplifier' has been used. The preparation is completed. Do you like to proceed?]
[
He nodded. The MP in his status bar decreased by twenty thousand as each Dark Amplifier required a thousand MP. As he had an enormous MP reserve, he proceeded without hesitation.
"You shall perish from this world." He mumbled, "Now cease to exist, World Break Cataclysm."
As magic circle released an immeasurable amount of destructive energy, the demons began to suffer. It continued pouring all the magic for some moment. The demons trapped in those circle suffered as their bodies gradually disintegrated into ashes. Damrill faced the same fate. It was a complete annihilation.
The magical energy was so intense, it turned the night sky into day light.
The humans were safe. All of them were even healed up as another green magic circle appeared above them— also his doing.
Floating on the mid air, he saw the people feeling jubilation as they were singing the victory song on his honour.

"Wow?" looking at the screen he praised himself, "In these past two years, not only did I managed to become level 94 but also I successfully levelled up my active skills and acquired some fascinating items. Great job, Skyler!"
The people on the battle field, soon started collecting the remaining corpses and were doing the after math. Skyler, just looked at them— passionately floating in the air. Specially, he looked on a specific individual; a girl with twin-ponytail blue hair and shiny green eyes.
"Now that I have saved them, it'll be easier for me to proceed." He vanished in air.
*********************
Since the battle, few weeks had already passed. The loses were grave. With the aid from the Royal palace, it was slightly easier to compensate.
The Vanguard Clan, which regulated the activities of Adventurers had lost many of their members. Though most of the higher stage members survived; thanks to some certain sorcerer who appeared out of no where, vanished in an instant as well.
The adventurers went back to their works. The clan started to get busy as well. All the things were going smoothly. Until…
Until the Dragonborn Sorcerer who save them, appeared in the front desk. The members present in the clan break into joy as the get to see him that close. His outfit remained the same. However the crown was not on his head. He was wearing the mask though.
"Sir, that was amazing. The way you saved us back there, was spectacular."
"Can I shake your hands, sir."
"Hay idiot, don't bother him. He's the 'Chosen One' by our Goddess."
"Right. Right. We shouldn't bother him at all."
"Then shut up and let's hear him."
The clan members were awfully excited. Skyler however gave them no mind. He just silently looked at the girl in the front desk. She was smiling fabulously.
It was the very same girl; with twin-ponytail blue hair and shiny green eyes. Up close, she was looking even more cuter than the battle field.
"Thank you for your big help back then." Her voice was even more sweeter, "How may I help you today, Sir."
The girl also happened to be the Clan manager. She was young yet quite responsible for the job she did. She helped anyone at the clan. Her charms and cuteness made her popular among the clan member.
"It's been some while, Sylphy." Skyler finally decided to speak while slightly removing his mask, "I was wondering if you'll go on a date with me."
He removed the mask. He was young. His charismatic golden eyes sparkled. His bluish-white spike hair dazzled. His dark draconic aura covered the entire clan.
Sylphy's face which was very cheerful, slowly turned dark. Her skin became pale. Her smile vanished. Her throat dried up. Her entire body started trembling. Her lips were dithering. Her eyes were about to pop out. Her soul screamed out silently as she felt a chill ran through her spine.
She was beyond scared— even during facing the demons she was not that afraid. Nearly a glimpse of Skyler's piercing gaze and malicious smile, scared the hell out of her as she tried to grasp the reality.
"Sky….ler…. " She barely managed to speak, "no way!?!"
